Explore the complex landscape of AI regulation in the United States and globally through this 27-minute conference talk that examines the tension between fostering innovation and implementing necessary guardrails. Analyze how the Trump administration's AI agenda prioritizes US leadership by opposing federal regulation on bias and frontier AI risks while favoring innovation and expansion. Understand the emerging patchwork of state-level AI laws addressing bias, harmful content, transparency, and frontier model risks that may paradoxically burden US companies more than unified federal regulation would. Examine how the EU AI Act functions as a global regulatory framework similar to GDPR's role in privacy regulation, effectively imposing worldwide obligations on AI companies. Learn about the fragmented regulatory landscape that US companies now navigate, where state-level requirements create compliance challenges that may actually impede the innovation the federal deregulatory approach aims to promote. Discover recent developments including the finalization of the EU GPAI Code of Practice, newly enacted state laws, and gain an overview of AI regulation developments outside the US and EU. Gain insights into how this regulatory fragmentation creates an ironic situation where anti-regulation federal policy may accelerate disparate state-level regulation, ultimately creating more obstacles for AI innovation than a coordinated federal approach would generate.
